Luke Perry’s Sudden Death at 52: Instagram Reacts

Posted on March 4, 2019March 5, 2019 by The Basic Moms

Updated March 5, 9:30 AM EST

It can’t be true. Please, say it isn’t so. Luke Perry, aka Dylan McKay, aka Fred Andrews, has died. We have all collectively shed {more than} a few tears. How can it be? He was only 52.

Reports surfaced on Wednesday that the star had suffered a massive stroke. Reportedly, he never regained consciousness and passed away, today, March 4th, surrounded by his family.

Within, literal, moments of the news breaking, all of my social media feeds were full of article shares and tributes. I quickly ran to Instagram to see how his- always ‘gramming- castmates would respond.

Here is our round up of Instagram reactions to Luke Perry’s sudden death:

News Breaks

I absolutely adore this tribute from US Weekly. Such great advice from a former teen star to the newest generation, so many of whom he mentored.

Celebs share cool stories about Luke Perry:

Still no word on Instagram from…

Current costars {and fellow “Hot Dads” of Riverdale} Marc Consuelos and Skeet Ulrich. Cole Sprouse, Cami Mendes, and TV son, KJ Apa {my heart is literally breaking for Archie} have yet to speak out and share their grief. We’re still waiting for reaction from former Beverley Hills 90210 castmates like Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Brian Austin Green, and Tori Spelling.

We’ll keep you posted on Facebook and Instagram as more costars, past and present, react to Luke Perry’s sudden death.

Please share your favorite memories, pictures, quotes, or GIFs of Luke Perry in the comments.
